A dream wedding venue that we will forever remember positively.
We got married in May 2023 at Spencer's, and we are so glad we chose this venue. We looked at many other venues in the Palm Springs area for our 100-person wedding, and Spencer's was our favorite choice. The location against the mountains is stunning for an outdoor wedding, and the ceremony lawn feels private and breathtaking. The golden hour lasts a little bit longer at Spencer's because it is so near the mountains.
The reception area (the Bougainvillea Room) is even more beautiful than it appears in photos. The rock wall, waterfall, fireplace, candles, and uplighting create a classy and elegant atmosphere. All of the vendors we interviewed were familiar with Spencer's and had worked there before, which made communication and planning much smoother. This is a huge advantage if you do not live in the Palm Springs area.
The food at Spencer's is delicious, as many other reviews have mentioned. Melissa, our wedding coordinator, was a joy to work with. She was attentive and caring, and we were very happy with her.
We highly recommend Spencer's as a wedding venue. It is a beautiful and elegant location with excellent food and service.

Absolutely perfect and forever grateful!
Absolutely perfect! We planned a cross country wedding for 40 of our friends and family members. From start to finish Brian & Melissa had our backs and made the experience 100% stress free! They were there for us throughout the entire planning process and executed every detail of the wedding to perfection! The location is undeniably beautiful, the staff was professional, prompt and courteous to our guests and at no point throughout the night did our guests have an empty glass! Food is huge for us, and let me tell you...the food was AMAZING...I mean AMAZING! We still have people telling us that it was one of the best meals they've ever had! We really cant thank the entire Spencer's team enough for making it the most perfect experience and day for us! They really went above and beyond and we will forever be grateful to them for that!

No better venue or team in palm springs
Where do I even begin!? It is really difficult to articulate your gratitude and appreciation for the people and establishment behind making our wedding dreams come in a brief review on a website but I’ll do my best. Brian Thorson is an absolute rockstar and a master of his craft. I have never met somebody in events/hospitality so calm, confident, knowledgeable, professional, communicative, attentive… I could go on. Navigating a wedding in the Covid climate is scary and daunting! From my initial out reach via their from my initial outreach via their website, he was immediately responsive and accommodating and made me feel more comfortable with the process. He provided a detailed breakdown of a few different options that were through and easy to comprehend. And let me know that there was flexibility with the final headcount which was a definitely a relief too. Other venues acted like it was pulling teeth to even get a rough estimate and were extremely insensitive and unreasonable regarding Covid. Not Brian and the Spencer’s team!! We corresponded a number of times and before even going to the venue; we knew exactly what we were looking at in terms of costs. The moment I stepped foot on the ground at Spencer‘s, I was immediately floored by the natural beauty of the landscape. The upper lawns and Bougainvillea room are truly a magical space nestled against the mountain. But it was when I met Brian in person, that I knew that this was the venue for us. He immediately put my nerves at ease with his cool confidence and hospitality. Over the course of the 9 months of wedding planning, he promptly responded to all of my emails and phone calls. He made me confident that he and his team would be able to seamlessly execute our wedding vision — enter Melissa White. Melissa worked closely with Brian throughout the process and was an absolute GOD SEND on the day off. Melissa, like Brian, is professional, responsive, and master executer. She has an incredible eye for style and perfectly executed my day-off vision. And she has a crazy keen sense of mitigating issues before they become issues. Our big day went off perfectly and largely in thanks to her. Talk about a boss. Brian and Melissa communicated with all of our vendors and made it possible for us to sit back, relax, and truly enjoy our special day with ease and excitement. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the food. OMG, the food. Everyone knows wedding food is rarely noteworthy. My husband and I are a big foodies and were pretty floored when we did our tasting. Surely the food couldn’t be as good when prepared for 100 people, right?! Wrong. It looked and tasted A. Maze. Ing. We we so shocked by the number of people who commented on how next level the food was. To say we are appreciative of Brian, Melissa, and the entire Spencer’s team (additional shout out to their amazing, warm, and friendly service staff) would be a serious understatement. My husband and I are forever grateful for them making our wedding an absolute dream. Stop racking your brain; you WILL NOT find a better or more beautiful venue in Palm Springs. Stop reading this and reach out them now. You won’t be sorry.
